Dallas, Texas (August 3, 2011) – StockGuru shines its Spotlight on Linux Gold Corp. (the “Company”) (OTCBB: LNXGF) which will commence an exploration program, next month, consisting of 40 – 60 auger drilling holes, to identify drill targets on the Trout Claims, located about 70 miles northwest of Fairbanks, Alaska in the Rampart Mining District. The claim block consists of thirty-four (34) 160 acre State of Alaska claims totaling 5,440 acres. The Company closed on August 2, 2011, at $059, trading in a fifty-two week range of $0.106 – 0.02.
Pursuant to the Company’s news release dated November 22, 2010:
The Trout Claims are underlain by two, geochemically-reduced, magnetically subdued, igneous intrusions. These igneous rocks have yielded radiometric ages of 89-90 million years (Ma), the same age as Fort Knox, Livengood, and other gold-bearing intrusions exposed throughout the Tintina Gold Province. International Tower Hill Mines Ltd. (ITH) has calculated a recent Ni 43-101 compliant resource estimate of 12.5 million ounces gold at a 0.5 g/t gold cutoff at their Livengood deposit, which is approximately 30 miles east of the Trout Claims. Past productive placer gold deposits also occur immediately downstream from the Trout Claims, suggesting a lode source within the claim group.
During 1993-1994, previous explorers identified a 3,000 feet long by 1,000 feet wide, northeast-trending, gold-in-soil anomaly which overlies one of the igneous intrusions. Thirty-nine (39) soil samples contained 65 to 680 ppb gold (.065 to.68 g/t gold), and thirteen rock chip samples contained 130 to 9,640 ppb gold (.130 to 9.64 g/t gold). Elevated silver, lead, zinc, arsenic and antimony values were also identified.
During 2010, Linux contractors attempted to verify this anomaly by collecting nine (9) soil and forty-six (46) rock chip samples that were run at ALS Chemex Labs, Inc., using the Au-AA24 analytical method. The nine soil samples, which contained 10 to 967 ppb gold (.01 g/t to.967 g/t gold) and an average of 156 ppb gold (.156 g/t gold), successfully confirmed the northeast trend of the mineralization and widened it by approximately 150 feet to the northwest. The thirty-four rock chip samples contained up to 411 ppb gold (.441 g/t gold), with elevated gold values obtained from quartz veins within the intrusive. The rock sample program closed off the mineralized zone to the northwest at an elevation of about 3,000 feet. The gold anomaly remains open to the northeast, southwest, and southeast.
Future work planned by Linux will include sample programs that test these possible extensions as well as identifying drill targets to test the known gold anomalies that are known within the Trout Claim Group.
